Product Description

One Wicked Night of Passion Can Change Everything

To escape her tyrannical father's designs, Miss Lillian Kane gambles her reputation and transforms herself from insipid Miss Wallflower to Daring Sensation, dazzling Polite Society and the opportune attention of a notable marquis in the process. But when her kindly protector is wrongly accused of murder and dragged off to Newgate Prison, suddenly Lillian needs more than a pretty face and a plan. She needs Nicholas Redford, the one man in London who wants nothing to do with her.

Nick is not about to imperil his good name or that of his fledgling inquiry firm by helping a murderous scoundrel elude justice, no matter how enticing the man's mistress. But the exquisite Miss Kane is not as she appears, the dashing investigator soon learns. And it is only after one wicked night of passion that Nick realizes that of all dark places where danger lurks, the most unsuspecting is his heart.

Bibliolati "historical romance junkie" - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Wicked Night (Mass Market Paperback)

I really liked the basic idea of the story line, but I wish it had been a bit more realistic. Great things could have been done with the premise, but they weren?t. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I like historical accuracy in my historical romances. The idea of a mistress (at least the mistress of anyone less than a royal duke, anyway) being included in ton parties is ludicrous, as is the heroine's fretting about her reputation. What reputation? She's someone's acknowledged mistress! She has no reputation. So, over all, not a bad book, but not a keeper either.

"kat-girl" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Wicked Night (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a really fun read. What I loved was how, on their first meeting, the hero thinks the heroine has snubbed him. From then on, she's got an uphill battle to win his heart. This author is great with character, has a sense of humor and the romance is steamy. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: One Wicked Night (Mass Market Paperback)

unlike some of the other reviewers I enjoyed this book. The hero is a decent, hardworking ex-bow street runner who now has his own agency. The heroine, a "lightstocking", a woman who is being kept by a lord as a mistress. The villans are truly villanous, the supporting cast are fun. Yes, some of the story is inplausible but it IS romance people. Just relax, and enjoy yourself:) I've read better but many more that are much worse. At least B++ sex, likable cast that you'll want to win, and great ending. If you like regency with a twist, then give this book a try.
